I was looking for help getting the quiz started - I only have a representative sample of the questions, those were the numbers I chose.

You're all failing!

I want help expanding this thing to 5,000 questions.  No more no less.

And no, I have no idea how to do that, or even if it would work.  Blah blah blah arty and technology types, never any use when you need them.

Thanks, Samir!


For the record, "Sharky, I'm scared" is one of my favorite lines in the whole Best Show archives.
